Today the morning classes learned about the letter 'Jj'. They read the story 'Jingle Bells', brainstormed words that begin with the letter Jj and then practiced printing Jj's in their journals.
The afternoon classes had Gym-sic today and they practiced their songs for the Winter Concert. Both classes talked about the number 8 as it is December 8th...we learned that a stop sign has eight sides, a lot of markers come in packs of 8 and only a few of our classmates have 8 letters in their names. Evergreen School will be participating once again in the annual Canstruction® event in December for the Calgary Food Bank. A group of grade 4 students has taken on the challenge to think like engineers, designers, architects and builders to create an extraordinary structure all out of cans of food which, after judging, will be then de-canstructed, with all food going to the Calgary Food Bank. This year’s theme is nature. The grade 4 design team has decided to extend their learning about the regions of Alberta and build a model of the Rocky Mountains. In order to make their vision come true, they are looking for canned and boxed food donations. Specifically, they are looking for: · Catelli 500g spaghetti · Blue menu cans (Superstore) · Bottled water with blue lids · Del Monte green cans · Great Value white canned foods · Clover Leaf Flaked White Tuna – black label All food donations are gratefully accepted and can be dropped off at the school office anytime next week. Thank you for your support of this project which in turn will go to support needy Calgarians. Did you know that numbers are everywhere? We have been talking about where we find numbers in our world. The children have come up with some amazing answers. One student said that numbers are found on the back of cars. Upon further questioning, he even came up with the correct term...on license plates! Another student said that numbers are on the front of our houses. We have been so impressed with the deep thinking the children have done on this. We need your help though! Could you please look for places that we find numbers in our world. We want the children to THINK BIG on this...not just at home or at school, but where else do they find numbers? Please take a picutre of where you find numbers and send it to your child's teacher. The morning classes can start sending in pictures right away. The afternoon classes can start sending in pictures anytime after Tuesday. We are going to print them out and put up a display at school. Thanks for your help with this project! Thank you for your donations of toys and books and your purchases! Together Evergreen School raised over $1400.00 for Stephen's Backpack!!! Wow! :) Have a great evening, The K Team
